Ziva David, NCIS Special Agent is very busy doing spring activities (bug searching) in the lower field with wheat plantation.
Not the name of the Falls, just the position. Leaving both the top and the bottom of the falls seems to have focused attention on the mid ground. This area is typically part of the narrative and not the story itself. So, I placed it front and center, making it the story.
After all, this is the area of activity. While the top will feed the falls, and the bottom will exit the falls, the mid area is a concentration of activity.
Edwards Place, built in 1833 and remodeled in 1857, is an historic house museum that tells the story of social and domestic life in Abraham Lincoln's Springfield, Illinois. Restored in 2015 to its antebellum glory, this Italianate mansion was one a center for social activity in Springfield. Prominent citizens and politicians such as Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas, David Davis, and numerous governors, judges, lawyers, and politicians were entertained at lavish dinner parties and the grounds played host to many summer picnics and political rallies.
Edwards Place was the home of attorney Benjamin Edwards, youngest son of Governor Ninian Edwards and brother-in-law of Mary Lincoln’s sister Elizabeth. Although the Lincolns did not court or marry here, Edwards Place is currently home to the "courting couch" on which Lincoln and Mary Todd sat during the early days of their romance, originally the property of Ninian Edwards.
Edwards Place has been owned and operated by the Springfield Art Association, a private, non-profit visual arts organization, since 1913. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
Rough sea at the coast of Mosteiros on Sao Miguel, where people come to swim in the natural pools of crystalline water resulting from volcanic activity,
Part of my afternoon stroll at Shorncliffe earlier this week. In the distance one may make out Moreton Island, a popular tourist destination and not too far by ferry from Brisbane.

CP 3002 leads the J21 south through Golden Valley as they approach the stop sign protected diamond that goes over the UP industrial lead. Still nice to see this GP38 roaming the rails.
Excerpt from bronte-village.ca/bronte-market-square-open-for-business/:
Located at 2445 Lakeshore Rd W, the square was created as an amenity for the district by The Village property owner and is now managed by the Town of Oakville.
The space is bookable for events and activations (think outdoor markets, fitness classes, holiday-themed activities, live music – the possibilities are endless!) and will be dressed to impress with colourful hanging baskets and planters soon.
Bronte Market Square also functions as a resting and gathering space and for improving connectivity and pedestrian access to local businesses. Its infrastructure includes seating areas, access to electrical power and a water feature.

Boiling mud pools and lakes are a feature of Kairua Park in Rotorua, NZ. Noted for these features plus geysers, and volcanic activity Rotorua is one of the top destinations for tourists visiting the country. A sulphur smell pervades the region
Are there extraterrestrials living among us on earth? What do they do? These are the type of questions humans have debated for ages, and after a weekend at Death Valley National Park, I believe I am ready to solve them. Speculate no more, as aliens are playful creatures who, it turns out, live in the mountains around The Racetrack Playa and come out every full moon to move around rocks.
Why you might ask, would aliens do this when there are so many things they could see and do on earth? The answer is simple: to mess with tourists. It’s probably a higher calling on their planets. As the legend goes, no one has ever seen these rocks in Death Valley National Park move. Nonsense. As the hit film Men in Black taught us, aliens have the power to erase our minds. Heck, there’s a good chance I saw aliens the night I took this photo. I don’t remember seeing them, but I cannot say definitively that I did not see them....
